Don&#39;t scoff: &nbsp;I thought I had a problem because, in the 35degC conditions I work in, the fan was NOT running often. &nbsp;I had the lapramps for the two laptops for ergonomic reasons, didn&#39;t realise at the time how effective they were for keeping the temperature down. &nbsp;No moving parts, no electronics, just airflow - and cheap!<br>
